Rex Tillerson, Stereotypical Oil Man to the Bone
And as Mr. Tillerson and other oil executives pivoted from the private sector to the state oil company, the criticism that they had directed toward the Kremlin dried up. The payoff for Exxon was immense: a $500 billion joint venture in 2011 to drill for oil on the Arctic shelf and the Black Sea and another huge deal to develop shale oil deposits in Siberia. Those projects were shelved in 2014, after the West imposed sanctions on Russia for Mr. Putin’s actions in Crimea and Ukraine.
Welcome to the new normal in Trumpiana. Whatever makes the biggest buck for the one at the very very top is all A-OK because…. he deserves it. After all, he’s on top, right?
And I bet typical Trump voters still don’t care. Just as long as they get to rub it in to those “Libtards”. Please someone stop me from smashing my head against a brick wall.
